I am an open-minded and successful research leader with nearly two decades expertise in scientific research, attracting funding, performing project management and product development. I worked in industry and academia.
I have been successful in delivering project results and obtaining industry funding and large governments grants. I have a strong track record establishing new research; this helps organisations to improve company culture, increase performance, procure science funding for their daily operations.
I am an scientist with a background in both product and process innovation.
The projects I have led, initiated, spearheaded and completed involved both prototype and product development.
At Siemens AG, IRL Ltd., Callaghan Innovation Limited and Robinson Research Institute I developed new innovative lightning concepts, photovoltaic applications, sensors, asset management systems as well as non-destructive testing technology.
My mission is to help organisations, companies, research teams and researchers to concentrate on and perform their research in a more efficient way.
I help organisations, companies, research teams and researchers to develop a coherent and long-term R&D strategy.
I help teams to turn their ideas into successful grant applications. We can start from a basic idea or an existing draft.
I help organisations, companies, research teams and researchers to renew or create a coherent R&D strategy.
My services involve setting up the project, ongoing support, or just a re-alignment of existing processes using proven project management tools.
“Not only did he do cosmetic changes or alerted me to mistakes that were not immediately obvious to me, but his unique approach of delving deep into the topic and trying to distil the very essence of a research idea was absolutely crucial.”
“Arvid supported us throughout the process not only through editing but also structuring the grant’s main points as well as understanding key aspects of writing proposals. This ensured our application was clear and concise.”
“It was fantastic to work together with Arvid, who was my writing consultant for a research grant in New Zealand. He is very reliable and responsible person with extensive experience in grant writing.”
